:14:00
- Except it says...
- I love school. Don't you?

:14:03
Let's sing with the band tonight!
:14:05
Now we're-with the Yes Men,
:14:06
we're calling that sort of basic idea
"Identity Correction,"

:14:10
like saying, these things...
:14:12
these things that are not
really presenting themselves honestly

:14:15
or that hide something about their nature
that's really scary,

:14:18
we want to bring that out.
:14:20
We want to show that.
We want to demonstrate that.

:14:22
And so, like for the WTO...
:14:25
we think that the WTO
:14:27
is doing all these terrible things
that are hurting people

:14:29
and they're saying the exact opposite.
:14:31
And so we're interested
in correcting their identity.

:14:34
In the same way that an identity thief
steals somebody's identity

:14:38
in order to basically
just engage in criminal practices,

:14:41
we target people
we see as criminals,

:14:44
and we steal their identity
to try to make them honest

:14:46
or to try to present
a more honest face.

:14:48
And so...you know,
I guess this whole thing

:14:51
has its roots for both me and Andy
:14:54
in stuff that we've been doing
for a long time,

:14:56
which is trying to create public spectacles
that, in some kind of poetic way,

:15:00
reveal something about our culture
that's profoundly a problem.

:15:19
That must be Sal.
:15:22
- Oh, dude.
- Are you okay?

:15:24
I got fuckin' lost on that...
:15:26
Oh, no.
:15:29
It's been a long day.
:15:31
Holy shit!
:15:33
Well, I probably started it
in June or July.

:15:39
So, on and off
for a good two to three months.

:15:42
Just a couple more pieces
of Velcro, and that'll really be it.

:15:46
And, yeah, we're...
at the end of the line.

:15:52
Okay, look.
So we're making a list here.

:15:55
Wednesday we leave
for Finland early,

:15:57
so, Sunday...
